Western Star,
I picked one of those myself!
LOL
I'd also love to hear something new.
Although I have no right to be so, I'm somewhat envious of those who are able to say they heard The Wreck before it was released, or more recently, Drifters.
As for something old that hasn't made it to vinyl or CD, a friend tells me that Gord's cover of Farewell to Nova Scotia would be a fantastic song to hear Gord perform.
I recall that the liner notes to Songbook had a picture of an old set list that included a few unfamiliar songs.
Do you know of any others? Actually, I think I'll start a new topic with this one, so that this thread continues with the concert Wish List theme.
I heard him perform "Partners" early on ('72) but the acoustics in the auditorium were lousy, and I couldn't make out all the words. When I did learn the words, it sounded more dark, almost evil, when I thought it was rather humorous the first time, when I didn't hear all the words. If the list of songs you saw in "Songbook" were taped to the back of his guitar, there were a few he didn't write. That might make an interesting subject: "Lightfoot sings tunes he didn't write".
